How to share video recording to external using Microsoft stream
Patrick_lky Hi, this isn’t possible at the moment, if your asking can you share videos externally, this is on the roadmap, due towards the end of the year (Q4) though:
Microsoft Stream: Public anonymous external video sharing
Allow individual videos in Microsoft Stream to be marked for external public access allowing people to view the videos without a login. Stream admins will be able to control if this feature is enabled and who within the organization can make videos publicly available.
Just to add, it’s not clear if the above feature will allow you to add external email address to provide access to particular guests only, you’d think that would be an option.

This error occurs because Stream can't currently share to external users.
To work around this issue, store the video in another location. For example, add the video to a SharePoint Online or OneDrive for Business Library location that enables external sharing, and then share the video to the external users.

Andreas_Huber This functionality won't be coming to Stream as Stream (classic) is being now phased out. With Stream functionality being slowly migrated over to SharePoint. They are now calling the old Steam "Classic" and the new one https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/stream/streamnew/new-stream. MS Teams meetings already now save to OneDrive/SharePoint instead of Stream (classic). Which then allows for sharing with external users. I haven't seen the new Stream on SharePoint roll out to any environments I have access to so not really sure how it looks/functions, but my guess is there is a new SharePoint Stream site template and video web part features. In the meantime, I'd recommend just moving away from Stream (classic) and hosting your videos in a SharePoint site, at least anything that needs to be shared externally. While you wait for the new Stream to fully roll out.
